The kdewin32 library is something like a (not complete and somehow 
kdelibs depending) posix extension to msvc/mingw. I've seen several 
ported non kde related package, which each of them contains another 
implementation of mainly required posix functions like gettimeofday()
*dir() and others. For example 
http://root.cern.ch/viewcvs/cint/lib/posix/winposix.h?rev=1.2

May be some day in the future, all such functions could be gathered into 
one posixwin or winposix library.
